Melissa Lucci - Pittsburgh Newborn Photographer

BABY SCARLETT

I remember shooting the (NEW) big sisters one year family session and hiding the fact that I was expecting, (feeling so terrible but not letting it show). I finally hit my comfort zone and announced that I was expecting my second baby girl, and soon after received the sweetest (MOST EXCITING) email from this lovely mama congratulating me… and letting me in on her own secret!! She was ALSO expecting… early but she told me to hold some time on my calendar – if I was taking clients that soon after delivering. Well, the answer was YES… and even if I wasn’t back to work already, this is the kind of family that you absolutely make time for. I’ll never not want to document their sweet love.

Fast forward… I met Baby Scarlett and was not shocked to find that she is just as precious and beautiful as can be. Truly, a perfect addition to a family so wonderful. Like my husband and I, Scarlett + Stella’s parents are navigating their way through this new normal: LIFE WITH TWO… THE TODDLER-NEWBORN COMBO!! It’s messy and exhausting, and filled with the most beautiful kind of chaos. Here they are, embracing it all in the most beautiful ways.

p.s. THIS SESSION. I’m dying over their gallery and might have teared up while editing. 4 months postpartum people, leave me alone!!

Where your story is turned into something you can come back to. Photography for the life you’re living and the legacy you’re building.

Life moves faster than we expect. Seasons shift, kids grow, businesses evolve.

My role is to simplify the photography experience so you can stay present in it, while I document it with intention and care.

You want images that reflect who you are, what you’ve built, and where you’re headed next.  I'm here for that.

Hey! I'm Melissa.

Maternity sessions, for me, are a celebration of your incredible journey, and the overflowing love you already feel for the little human you're about to meet.

The early days with your newborn are like nothing else. We’ll capture all the precious moments that make the sleepless nights and diaper changes all worth it.

Your family, senior, and portrait photographer in Pittsburgh, PA for every season.

Good stories are worth telling.

Documenting and celebrating, before that next big chapter begins. Senior sessions focus on natural and effortless 'posing' to create confident imagery!

Say goodbye to unnatural photoshoots. I use a child-led approach to guarantee a fun, stress-free experience. Roll with it and we'll make magic.

Your non-profit is making the world a better place, one event or community outing at a time. I'm here to document that so you can tell the world about the impact!

Approachability matters and everyone needs a solid headshot! Your small business or personal brand should have images that speak to what you have to offer.
